Integration of decentralized assets into flexibility market 3
Mission
Nodis helped the transmission and distribution system operators in setting up digital market platforms to increase flexibility market liquidity by integrating decentralized assets. Facilitating balancing services for small and for large asset sizes, through low barrier and cost effective market entry, was paramount to large scale adoption of decentralized flex.
Objectives
Open the balancing market for smaller assets
Small assets are a different beast and require adopted balancing processes from prequalification to energy bidding with flexible (dis)aggregation and energy compensations mechanisms.
Enable their business case by allowing private metering
As regulated meters are too expensive and slow to roll out for the integration of thousands of decentralized assets in FCR and aFRR, private metering was allowed in the market design which required a digital solution to allow for a secure meter data chain.
Bring DSO units on a TSO service
By allowing system services on all grids, a close system operator collaboration was required to deliver joint commissioning of digital market platforms
Project solution
Nodis took up the lead business architect and analyst role in the project end to end. We were responsible for the solution conception to delivery of a real-time communication platform based on Internet of Things technology and a flexibility hub managing the register of decentralized assets and their metering data.
The project required intense collaboration between many stakeholders including all system operators, external software providers and implementation teams. We successfully maintained a short go to market timeline enabling rapid entry of medium sized to residential flexibility into the balancing market.
